If you are over 18, the Introduction to climbing course is the first step in learning to climb. You will cover the basics of top rope climbing, autobelays and bouldering. Each session is a mixture of instruction and lots of chance to climb and use the new skills you are learning. Once you are competent in the basic safety skills you can join the Club as a member. We recommend a series of four sessions to give you the time to consolidate your learning under supervision before starting out on your own. On registering, we offer you a free individual one month membership to help you settle-in to the centre. Ask at reception to activate your free month.
We offer both single sessions and a full 4 session course. Please make sure you check the dates of the 4 session course before making your booking, this can be found below by selecting “Information and Booking”.
